My boyfriend and I had dinner for Valentine’s Day and our server Kelsey was absolutely phenomenal. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was cozy and romantic. Kelsey really made our night super special. She was attentive, kind, and all around an amazing server. We need more Kelsey’s in the world! The entire staff was super sweet too. Definitely recommend Madre for your next date night. And get the chicken parm, you won’t regret it!

A hidden gem. You will love everything. The pistachio crusted salmon is highly recommended.

Been to Madre quite a few times and usually my go to local spot for date nights or dinners with folks from out of town. Service is always awesome, bartenders and cocktail / wine selection is extensive and the vibe is perfect for a cozy night out.

Only knocking 1 star because food can be a bit inconsistent depending on what you get - for instance the short rib, eggplant rollatini, caesar salad, and burrata are all fantastic and some of my favorite bites in the area but I’ve also had the meatballs, vodka pasta, and carbonara in the past and haven’t loved those dishes. Overall love this spot though and have always left happy!

First, our server Kelsea was great! She was very accommodating with wine tasting for my girlfriend, friendly, attentive, got our special request for fries extra crispy done (not always done when asked for at other restaurants), got us requested bread & butter for the leftover Fra Diavolo sauce and was all around very pleasant. She helped make the night a really good time out. My gf and I split the Fra Diavalo and the Burger. The Fra Diavolo as excellent in terms of taste, al dente buccatini (serious chew) and the seafood. What we didn't understand was why we got so little pasta in the dish. To be honest, it seemed like we got half an order of the buccatini which was a shame since the shellfish was great, sauce was great and again, pasta cooked perfectly. We will make sure to ask for more when we return. The focaccia and butter to mop up the remaining sauce at the end was phenomenal. We will probably try to order meatballs, sauce and bread & butter next time. It should be on the menu. The burger was also excellent. The burger itself was extremely tasty, I hope they don't move to cheaper beef due to rising prices. Add a dollar if you need to. Overall, a great night. I will say I think the deserts are a little pricey. We really wanted the baked Alaska but $14 seemed a little high. At $12 we would have ordered it. A mental thing I guess since the overall meal we thought was worth every penny.

Tried Madre Osteria for the first time with my family. We thought the food was outstanding. The oyster Rockefeller was the best I have ever had. Tuna Tartar was fresh and delicious. The entrees were excellent. We had the chicken parmigiana, the bolognese, short ribs and the carbonara. All had good portions and were well presented. That being said the service was a bit subpar. The waitress was kind however she definitely was not on top of things. Lots of waiting. She just needs some training. The food is excellent and service should match. All that being said we enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much that we will be back.

The oysters are the highest quality. Tiffany behind the bar is absolutely incredible. Fantastic hidden spot. The owners are hands on dedicated to this spot. The manger Em handles everything perfectly

I loved the vibe of the place and service was great. I was not impressed with the food. I ordered chicken parmigiana, the sauce was good and pasta was cooked al dente which was perfect. However the chicken was a big dry. I was looking forward to the baked alaska that we ordered for the table, and although it was a beautiful presentation, it lacked in taste. We are still trying to figure out if it was covered in merengue or marshmallow. I will give Madre Osteria a second chance and bring my family for Sunday Supper.

Ambiance was great New Years Eve. Our martini and wine cocktails were generous. The service was friendly and good. The lobster ravioli and chicken parm were excellent. Glad we went.

A little gem in Milton/Lower Mills. Absolutely love this place! Thinking on having my wedding reception here, that's how much I love this place!

Absolutely delicious food! It was a very busy night and our server was covering a lot of tables, so we finished our appetizers and had to wait a while before she came back to take our entree orders. Long time but worth the wait, it was excellent and we will be back.

Our family of six was seated at a lovely round corner table with a view of the entire restaurant. The decorations were beautiful and atmosphere warm and friendly. This was our second visit to Madre and we were very pleased the service and food were as excellent as we remembered. We will definitely be back the next time we're here from California.

From the moment we arrived the holiday decor really got us in the spirit. We were a bit early for our reservation so we sat at the bar and had some $1 oysters and drinks. David took care of us at the bar and I will say he helped to start the night off right. He was great!

For dinner we were seated in a beautiful section again with the holiday decorations and we had a the wonderful Kelsea as our server. From the beginning to the end of our night she was so attentive and just lovely. She made our night.

Now onto the food. We had appetizers, dinner and dessert it was all soooo good. And yes, we had to take some home because we were so full.

Again, thank you Madre staff for just a wonderful evening.. We can't wait to come back.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Madre Osteria. I had the wild mushroom flatbread and acorn squash and every bite was phenomenal.
The staff was friendly and professional. We had a particularly nice time chatting with Emanuelle. This place is a gem and look forward to coming back.
